Bite Point & Lever Reach AdjustmentLewis' patented technology for dual adjustment of lever reach & bite point allows you to customize the feel to your preference for superior performance out on the trails.
Reach(tool free), bite point(with allen key).
-
Dual oil ports designDual oil ports design, more convenient for oil bleeding.
Make good use of the oil reservoir capacity to generate the amazing braking force.
-
Better Leverage RatioOptimize the leverage ratio of vertical structural brakes and the motion trajectory of the tripod bar to obtain more direct braking force feedback, which is suitable for use environments such as XC bikes, climber bikes with high requirements for brake feedback.
-
Four precision bearingsFour precision bearings constitute the pivot point of the lever blade.
Each movable pivot is composed of precision bearings on both sides providing a stable and smooth action.
-
CNC 7075 T6 Aluminum four-piston caliper7075 aluminum alloy allows for better rigidity increasing the overall performance of the brake, while keeping the power stable and predictable.
Four-piston caliper provides superior braking power for any situation on the trials.
-
14mm+17mm asymmetric piston designThe 14mm+17mm asymmetric piston design improves the linear feel of the brakes, balances the pressure distribution of the pads and balances wear.
-
Corrosion-resistant HoseHigh quality braided hose is suitable for higher-intensity riding environments.
The LV2 standard version uses 4-layer hoses which have excellent performance benefits such as high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. They also allow a more stable performance under heavy use of the brakes. The internal use of Kevlar bulletproof fiber with a high number of braided layers makes the hose have an expansion coefficient far lower than the industry standard giving the brakes next level rigidity.
-
Hose Material1. PVDF and Teflon
2. Spiral filament winding
3. Kevlar bulletproof fiber braided layer
4. Tensile and corrosion-resistant casing

Peter-KRThe bitepoint adjustment is fantastic on the LV4's. With such a wide range available, I tried a variety of lever and bitepoint settings. For now, I've settled on dialing back the bitepoint about a quarter turn from my usual setup. I feel like it gives me a bit more wiggleroom as the brakes are so strong. I think it's a good idea to dial back the bitepoint a bit from what you're expecting upon first use. Once you bed in the pads, these things are going to grab real hard, real quick. You're just a light tap away from a parking lot OTB. On trail, the brakes have been absolutely fantastic, and the added modulation is especially welcome right now with all the leaf coverage on the trails. The power comes on smooth and increases exponentially as you close in on the bitepoint, giving you a nice amount of control until you really need to put the hammer down. I've had a great time regardless of how steep or long the descent. The LV4's stay consistent from start to finish. This is especially appreciated when you're as heavy as I am, ride a heavy e-bike, drag the brakes too much, and pass the five-minute mark on a descent.
Tim-USI like the overall size of the LV4 and could see myself running it on a shorter travel trail bike or dirt jumper, but for longer travel I prefer a lever shaped like that on the LH4 and the leverage it provides. It would be cool to have lever options in the future for those who like to mix it up a bit with the lever and master cylinder body. Overall, I can't recommend these brakes enough. The quality and performance for the price are tough to beat. Lewis brakes are definitely worth checking out.
